Resume Review (This is a carryover from Q2) 11/10/2018

Resume Resume Document that highlights your academic and co-curricular strengths; your relevant skills, including 21st century and workforce skills; and your work habits, experiences, and behaviors. Used as a tool to market or sell yourself when applying for a job, scholarship, college program, or another related opportunity. According to Job Outlook 2012 National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers look for evidence of the following on a resume… Ability to work in a team Leadership skills Written communication skills Problem-solving skills Strong work ethic 11/10/2018

Why it’s time to update or write your resume Many other scholarships ask for resumes. A resume is needed for almost every job application. It’s a good habit to update your resume at least once a year to add your new experience.

What do you want your resume to communicate? It’s an opportunity to represent yourself to those that don’t know you at all. Quickly summarizes your skills and experience. Communicates professionalism.

Example of a Strong Resume Read the handout “Sample Resume for High School Students” Notice the way the resume is formatted in sections. The headings let us know what activity or job the student had, and how long he or she was involved in that activity. The bullet points begin with an ACTIVE VERB and describe what the student accomplished and the skills he/she learned. See second page for a list of active verbs – when you can’t think of a way to phrase your responsibilities, check this list!

Example of a Weak Resume Read over the “weak resume example” Discuss - what’s wrong with this resume?

Strengthen the resume In pairs or small groups, use active verbs to rewrite the statements on the weak resume and share out a more effective way to describe his experience. (Assign each group or pair one bullet point statement to rewrite.) Then, share out with the group!

Final Reminders Use active verbs to strengthen your word choice. Add in specific examples of your accomplishments. Proofread, proofread, proofread! Check for punctuation and spelling. Check for format and style consistency. Ask teacher or friend to help you edit.
